Noah

Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, Black Swan) employs Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly and Anthony Hopkins to tackle the biblical story of Noah. You know, the one with the marauding four-armed giants, the massive invading armies, the scheming supervillains and the apocalyptic visuals. (OK, that last one might actually be in The Bible.) Like all Aronofsky films, it looks amazing, filled with cosmic craziness and symbolic potency. But the polarizing story takes a lot of liberties with the original narrative, crash-landing it somewhere between The Last Temptation of Christ and The Lord of the Rings. 137 minutes PG-13.
